[mythtv-users] new kernel problems

[Jim Coates]

I went and installed from cvs with no change (no compile probs either).  So
I removed /dev/lirc then dir mkdir /dev/lirc mknod /dev/lirc/lirc0 and it
started working.  I wonder how that device got removed.  Either way, thanks
for your responses, it motivated me to try harder to get this working.
